This is a heartwarming opportunity for compassionate providers who love making a difference! We work with members throughout Wisconsin to find providers that fit each of their needs. Our goal is to help individuals be in more control of their own supports and to have a say in who is assisting them. This helps them to stay in their own homes as long as possible.

Now hiring a strong, patient, and consistent caregiver to support a child with ADD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Mood Disorder, and PTSD. This role is ideal for someone who can confidently and calmly respond to behavioral challenges, including outbursts, anger, and occasional object-throwing (primarily observed in school settings and not directed toward caregivers).

The caregiver will help guide the child in developing positive self-regulation and coping skills while providing structure, stability, and calm support. We are seeking someone who is open-minded, dependable, and committed to creating a supportive environment during challenging moments. Care will take place in the caregiver’s home.
